USA is only interested in creating wealth for the elite Americans. USA is doing whatever they can to amass resources from others, including slavery, political manipulation, military forces and anyways that they think possible. They never think of helping anyone, especially their immediate neighbors. Now the rich America is haunted by its poor neighbors in every means. So these neighbors will take the first available boats.
Why should the caribean and South America keep supporting the American lifestyle ?? American companies hardly has any major investments in the Caribbean for good reason. Most of the caribean and South America are black and brown people. Be honest bro!
As a chinese descendant of small factory owner (my dad 😅)...he always say never underestimate your customer...no matter how "insignificant" their business to you. They are still your customer...that "little" money is still money...
Honestly in Africa we cant wait for This rmb digital currency. What China has done in and for Africa for the last 20 years is incredibly incomparable to what Europe has done for thé last 100 years.
Doesnt sound good. Watch out for chinas end-game. Danger for Africa. Do Africans want an undemocratic Africa in a world ruled by the chinese communist party. The most important thing is that in a democracy one can always vote a corrupted gov. out of power. This cannot be done in china.
@@andrewlambert7246 “In a democracy, one can always vote a corrupt government out of power.” Seriously, this is 2022 already. You are a rapidly shrinking proportion of citizens of the world who haven’t yet got tired of hearing that broken record. The Dems and the Republicans have been taking turns in Washington being “voted in/out” to empty out middle America. Until we see that democracy you talk about go through a revolution, your statement is just becoming a parody.
@@jiaxunchat I doubt anything will come out of China's digital Yuan. China doesn't have the rule of law. In order to be a reserve currency you need to have a legal system that the world can trust. You see people need to know that their money is safe and that contracts will be honored. Another big thing is China is constantly manipulating the value of it's currency up and down to maximize economic growth. That's good for GDP but not for a potential reserve currency.
@@dongshengdi773 Everybody is thankful that China does not exercise its right. Only Amerika is arrogant enough to force everyone to submit to its demands.
Finally they will be able to have power plants, ship yards, ports, farms and car manufacturers brought by Chinese gov unlike the US that brings political instability and chaos
it's more to do with how the US uses the dollar as a weapon of hegemony. than not enough banks there. Many developing countries are tired of US using the dollar to dictate others on what to do.
All American banks have bad money. Also same goes for Europe to. Money from Slavery, and drug Money. You don't believe me take a dope dog in any Bank and you will get a barking dog.
China has successfully used the Yuan as a weapon against its Citizens. So now , it is time to use it Worldwide 👍 Many Chinese doing business abroad who have been forced to go back to China were threatened by telling them that their bank accounts will be seized and their Hukou terminated (residence card)
Why wouldn't they? The Chinese offer much better deals than the IMF does in terms of loans. And the Chinese have already delivered a Metro in Hanoi and a national railroad in Laos.
georgekostaras do read about pakistan sri lanka etc where china build infrastructure . if you wont be able to pay them the loan what the use when you just changeing your one master to another . china is not doing charity at end this small countries will end up with loans of china becomeing its coloney .
@@siddharthkalantri5076 I have read about it. The Chinese charge a four percent interest rate, which is more than the IMF but is on parity for most commercial loans. With regards to the port in Sri Lanka, they now own 70 percent of the port after the government of Sri Lanka defaulted. Compare that to the IMF which demands that countries privatize their water supplies, sell off national assets and deregulate markets to the benefit of the USA. So far, the Chinese own a Sri Lankan port. Unlike the USA they haven't deposed the country's leadership, rigged elections or invaded. The Chinese are probably going to take that port and use it to print money. Altruism is not their goal. that said, what the IMF does, and what the West has traditionally done in these places is much, much worse.
@@georgekostaras Sri Lankan bank pays USD 6.9 mn to Chinese company amid fertiliser row read about sri lanka and china problem . srilanka had to pay the prise knowing its a faulty fertiliser and india had to help them in middle of season .

if you take a look at China's neighbouring countries and compare their economic development to those of the Caribbean countries, which are the neighbouring countries of the US, you may realize that China is making its neighbours richer and richer while the US doesn't really care about Central America countries. I think it is an obvious choice for those countries when comes to picking up a side.
Not by a long shot,RCEP just started. Lets hope it's stable around 5 to 7 % economic growth (not yet surpass Japan economic growth in its golden age). Africa economic growth will have higher growth in coming future.
@@lefttomboy3068 But Japanese golden age was very short. US clamped down hard on Japan and it never recovered. And Japan is the most reliable ally in Europe. LOL
But China makes neighbouring countries poorer and poorer. China gives them *TOFU DREG PROJECTS,* sells them fake foods like plastic rice, sewer oil for cooking, toxic baby foods, etc. Also, China sells you bad steel like bendable, breakable rebars, crumbling concrete bricks, etc. No thank you, China. We don't want your shitty goods.
Ancient China invented _Paper Currency,_ and gradually the rest of the world followed suit and adopted paper currency. Now China has launched _Digital Currency,_ and it's only a matter of time until the rest of the world follows.
@@dongshengdi773 Actually true. Pasta was copied the result of the Chinese noodles that Marco Polo brought back with him when he returned to Venice, Italy. Your fact-check history is impeccable.
China should help other countries expedite their own digital currencies so that any country can trade with any country without being at the mercy of a financial hegemon. This will increase trust in the Chinese digital RMB and also promote trade and stability between individual nations. The last thing we want is for countries to escape a financial hegemon only to fall into the arms of another.
Countries should also not presume that just because the current superpower abuses it's power, that an upcoming superpower will somehow also do the same as it's predecessor. It's just projection of the current superpower's crimes onto another that isn't even in power yet.
@@Shenzhou. I'm sure China has no intention of doing so, at least not the current leadership. But things can and will change over generations. That's why relationships have to be built upon exchange and reciprocity as much as possible, and not charity or goodwill. If all levers are held by one party (as what we're seeing with the US), it would inevitably lead to disgruntlement, maybe not in the short term, but definitely in the long term. Things will be more stable when all parties have something to lose in a relationship. From the perspective of China, it would also keep them on their toes in maintaining cordial relationships. Otherwise, they would succumb to complacency as have happened many times to great powers in the past. I think the current leadership have done commendably in this aspect so far and I hope they keep this up and resist the urge to over leverage on their influence.
That pretty much requires ground up education and at least a generation of understanding and implementation. And that's assuming the US isn't creating subterfuge to install puppet dictators to rip out the wires like they've been ripping out banking regulations set up by the FDR administration.
China cannot put pressure on countries or force them to choose. These countries have to decide themselves and there are still a lot trust to be build and it take time.
Since most of the third world countries are sanctioned by Merica, or, they are third world countries because of Merica's sanctions, USD is not available to them. Digital Yuen is the perfect solution for these countries.
@@pardeeptandon crypto currency will be crushed in America. It's already being crushed and stamped out in China the past several months. Besides electricity is needed to produce of digital coins connected to the internet. Who controls the internet again? I already see where this is going. Pay close attention the next 2 or 3 years.
Great video Cyrus! Richard Turrin is such a knowledgeable guy in the digital arena and with regards to digital currency. He's also very frank and tells it like it is. Really learn a lot from him.
except he didn't tell you that they make digital funds run out if you don't use them within a month so you will always be poor an a bitch to the government
If you WANT everybody to know how much you have and a small keystroke command to be able to take it all away. You are crazy. I LIKE real, physical currency too. Once you get it legally, it's YOURS. If somebody wants to take it, they need to grasp it out of your hands. Not behind your back by hacking a computer. It's FINE for transactions and day-to-day bill payments, BUT, real money is ALWAYS more "moneyable". I like a mix. Not just ONE extreme over the other.
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Charlotte's. I think she is the best broker I ever seen

The West is talking up the threat of China, especially in Asia specifically Hong Kong (which is within China) and Taiwan (which is part of China as per the One China policy) and the rest. However, national defence budgets say otherwise. The last conflict in Asia was in 1979 (China/Vietnam border war), since then Asia never been so safe and prosperous. With the implementation of RCEP as at the 1st Jan 22 that prosperity is set to increase astronomically for those 15 countries involved, ASEAN, South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. This view is also supported by the low defence budgets of countries within the region. Taiwan’s budget is at its lowest point, Japan is at 2%, hardly states under siege from China? So, wherever China goes, prosperity follows.
China is a straight up a police state, and a global bully constantly threatening war to other countries. The last thing Caribbean/jamacians would like to hear is... "I'm from the Chinese government and I'm here to help." I get it... America does close to the exact same soft power bulls*it. that's why I'm worried. I don't think china is out to kill but Please don't go thinking that china is righteous or anything. Also tell your agent not to invade Taiwan... that's not very cool.
And that war between China and Vietnam was started by Vietnam. Did you know that the Vietnam vs USA war, that lots of chinese soldiers went to help Vietnam? Meaning China helped Vietnam to win the war against the US. Why, because if the US has taken Vietnam, then the biggest thread will be directly south to China. Then those idiots in Vietnam turns around and attacks China. I thought history tells us that that war was done very quick. China destroyed Vietnam and didn't take over it country, which US would have done. China was only defending own borders and not attacking anyone. I can tell you this, China will not invade Taiwan. Those are brothers from the same mother. China wait paciently for Taiwan to want to return and join China again.
Caribbean countries have had enough of US untrustiness. Singapore has always been working closely with China and there is no issues, no fuss. Surely Singapore isn't so mindless or senseless to listen and obey US blindly.
I've always love LKY. Back in the 60's interview you can see the western interviewers attempts to try and dominate LKY but never once did he bow down to them.
Is America really pulling out of the Caribbean or is the Caribbean choosing China? Why would anyone use or pay a middle man when they can go directly to the source?
Because Latin America and Caribbean are the back garden of USA. You can get surprised about how much some presidents in all this region are dogs of USA.
USA's method of "pulling out" is sanctioning. This 21st century, it's not working anymore & has the effect of pushing the sanctioned economies towards China, which is a constructive, not destructive, country to much better tie up with.
@@kbram7363 Pfft, western doing sanction the most, atleast there are contender for the current hegemony. Suck to be you westerners, now you will feel how to be colonized and drained dry!
America lost the Caribbean in particular Jamaica when the CIA meddled in the Government in late 1970s to the early 1980s. This region has been seen by America as a footstool and not respected. Aid to these nations comes with requirement to buy junk from America and so the enslavement continues by Anglo Saxons. Naturally, Jamaica and the Caribbean should be the best ally to the US, but without respect you cannot earn respect.
Agreed, this American corruption activities had been going for centuries in most part of the world especially the developing countries. All these developing countries are still servicing these debt. Its time to wise up and move away from this "Mafia US bankers".
@@ielee1765 The Caribbean makes billions of US dollars in tourism each year on top of the hundreds of millions in aid we give. Aid to foreign countries do NOT have financial obligations attached to them, but they do come with political ones. In general, the agreements are non-binding but ask for Democratic principles be used by those we give aid to. Unlike the Chinese, we lease property to build military bases in many countries that we give aid to to help protect those countries from other foreign aggressors. China comes into poor countries and builds shipping ports and airports with low interest loans promising jobs and economic advancement. When these projects go belly-up, which they almost always do, China comes in and makes a deal with that country... China will forgive the loan under one condition, they get all properties and the improvements to those properties as Chinese territory. There is only one reason China does this... future world-wide dominance. Communist China wants to rule the world. It is 'passive aggression' personified.
Not many people in Singapore, including kids, are unbanked. Still, CBDC will be useful in ForEx cost reduction for any country, as the current conversion between two non-USD currencies still goes through USD as the middleman currency, and banks make money twice in every transaction.
That is exactly how the US skimmed off the wealth of all countries, not unlike a parasite, that are basically forced to use the USD. The sooner every country move away from using the USD for any transaction, the more they save on their national wealth.
@@marlotree6909 Yeah, when the inventor became a multi-billionaire. Who know how many backdoors he created for himself. It is not backed by anything, so good luck owning it.
Wonderful talk! Somehow made me think about the history of Chinese civil war, in which the CPC defeated US backed KMT in 1949. KMT basically controlled almost all the big cities, which had most wealth. The strategy of CPC was called "Countryside surrounding the cities" or 农村包围城市。 Most Chinese people lived in the country side then. They were poor and undereducated, but they were not stupid. They chose the party who treated them better. Make a lot of sense, right?
Agreed. During the Chinese Civil War, the Nationalist KMT had massive wealth (they taxed peasants heavily) they had superior weapons and superior numbers over the communists. Yet despite all these advantages, the KMT still lost the mainland to a bunch of dirt-poor, ill-equipped, starving communist peasants and had to flee to Taiwan. If anything, this demonstrates KMT's gross incompetence in their right to rule the mainland, while cementing the communist's right to rule China.
@@harryviking6347 If the Nationalist KMT were the supposed "chosen ones" then why'd the _Republic of China_ 🇹🇼 (1912-1949) lose the mainland to the _People's Republic of China_ 🇨🇳 and had to flee to Taiwan? Back then, the KMT had everything. Money, wealth, superior weapons, U.S funding, and superior numbers over the dirt-poor, ill-equipped, outnumbered starving communists. Several times during the Chinese Civil War, the communists were on the *brink of total annihilation,* by the KMT and it was through the sheer communist will to survive and Mao's strategy like the _Long March_ that enabled the communists to survive from the brink. After the end of the Long March, communist numbers plummeted from *69,000* (October 1934) to *7,000* (October 1935) while the KMT army remained strong at over 300,000 personnel. Yet you really think the communists did not treat people good?
China providing solutions to financial services problem in America's backyard is a double whammy for the US because it also eliminate the middle men services and save money for the countries. I'm quite sure the US will react with sanctions and/or using other forms of coercion on those countries as is often the case.

14:58 That "Largest Trade Partner" map really puts things into perspective. 🤔 Global South (and literally southern) countries _overwhelmingly_ have China as their largest trade partner by varying margins, while the USA ended up only being the biggest trade partner for the rich ex-colonial Western European countries... and even then, that lead is being contested.
Very impressed with your new direction of channel content towards this crucial topic. The main stream is treating the digital Yuan as merely one of the many cute technological novelties in the modernization within China. In probably much less than 2 years time when the main stream media woke up and starting to manufacture the tsunami of viral narratives on this potentially biggest yet geopolitical battle ground, you will be able to very proudly assure your audience your foresight for giving them the vaccination way ahead of that.
Ancient China invented _paper currency,_ and the rest of the world gradually followed and adopted paper currency. Now China has launched _digital currency,_ it's only a matter of time for the rest of the world to follow suit.
Digital yuan will not ever be able to surpass BTC. Why rely in a communist central system when you can have a decentralized system that supports privacy and freedom? Time will show BTC prevail.
Thank you for the support! It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the Caribbean, but agree, maybe we look back in a few years and can say we saw this coming.
As most products are made in China it will be easier to source directly using digital RMB to save transaction and exchange rate cost. Besides using the USD add no value and during this pandemic countries need America to improve USD liquidity to prevent a lock down on the financial markets. Hence with digital currency all this issues will be resolved and the SWIFT system is finally history.
If it wasn't for the USA the the rest of would be a third world crap hole China wouldn't be where they are today is because they stole everything the can't invent anything they must copie other nations invention
@@tedjones1822 And your corrupt politicians made that possible...... Don't tell me that you don't know that most of your corrupt politicians all across the board have interest in all those companies that are in China?

It is lucky China is at least somewhat strong, so China will not preyed like all other countries previously don't want to trade with US dollar. Wars with freedom & human rights 🙄
Reminds me of developing countries deploying wireless mobile technology to leapfrog communications instead of building cable links. Using central bank digital currency similarly leapfrog the reach to the underbanked and unbanked population in developing countries. Good call.
Who would you prefer to deal with if you are a Caribbean nations? A country that threaten, corce, interfere, exploit and invade you for over a hundred years OR a country that want to trade with you and bring development? It is logical who they choose.
Whatever it takes, the world needs to find an alternative to the American Dollar. The world will benefit from the digital RMB when the US financial system goes bankrupt from debt and the insane printing of dollars.
@@Jeff-ej4wp Come on now, we all know which Country had the most Covid infections and deaths. The USA is the superspreader nation that must answer to its citizens and the world how it bungled it up.

Oh, I forgot, the USA is broke fighting all those wars.
Jenny Ohara; Google something you are not educated on before making a statement. The ships were not wrecked there, the ships destination was the caribbean. More slaves were imported there than to the United States.

@@yenriver5255 I agree. The food though is really good. Malaysia has been on the edge of economic expansion for ages. It continues to be in POTENTIAL mode so long as the people in power work to sustain the status quo, sadly.
The Digital Currency is futuristic and helps tremendously developing countries world _wide.The 21st century is is already dominated by NEW ideas which is affordable and none threatening.We are already at the END of an age where the WHEEL has turned for a more inclusive approach so everyone can benefit and LIVE in peace.
Interesting topic! One of the key USPs of the Digital RMB is that countries using it will not be threatened by SWIFT as a result of US economic sanctions. Looking forward to the next video👍
Now that the BBB Initiative has stalled, the USA should apply to China to join the Chinese BRI. Just a bit of swallowing pride, the US would end up with excellent first class infrastructure with no strings attached. If US doesn't, it will find in the future, 3rd world countries having magnificent and futuristic transportation and the US still stuck with their old tracks and ancient transport system. I hope the US doesn't carpet bomb them in a fit of envy and frustration ....in the name of human rights and democracy, no less.
Did someone tell them that the biggest weapon that the Empire wields freely neely around the world is also its biggest weakness and probably the harbinger of its downfall. That petradollars ....
Thank you Cyrus & Richard, very informative & insightful! Yes, we should look back at this big idea after a couple of years. I bet it could be as fruitful as the BRI, absolutely another game changer!
Wow I'm just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Mary I thought I'm the only one trading with her, She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self.
InUS management style, there is the Pareto principle. We were drummed constantly by senior management that 80% of revenue came from 20% of customers. We were told to focus on the 20% and reduce costs on the 80%. In a time of tight revenue, you can guess what's going to happen. Right! Reduce cost on the 80%. No brainer.
Thank you for another great video. Anything and everything to better people's lives and nothing for those who exploit the lives and toil of the innocent.
Three cheers 👍👍👍to Richard Turrin for his intensive and extensive unbiased digital knowledge on China - good that he is so willing and openly share his knowledge with the global citizens.
I would have liked to hear about the U.S. weaponizing the dollar with regard to trade with many small nations, and maybe the reasons many small nations would want an alternative currency to protect themselves from the U.S. dollar hegemony.
I have never seen in the whole world, there is a journalist in india who is so obsessed with one country, and always talks about it and slanders it every day. this is not a journalist but nothing more than a hater!
Brilliant stuff, Cyrus & Rich. Saving money in the short term is short sighted by the US arrogance of domination. It nice to see a competitor which will be a game changer. Remember we are globalised with no boundaries but the US will have boundaries as being very outdated until they changed and realised that the US is not the only inhabitants in the world.
Thank you so much for bringing this conversation with Richard Turrin. I watched the first one but unfortunately I didn't follow up then. Right now I have bought Richard's book. I am worried about Bukele in El Salvador having introduced bitcoin as legal currency. I understand that it was a bold move that makes life easier for thousands of migrants who send modest remittances back home and are heavily exploited by the likes of Western Union who charge high fees, but I don't trust cryptocurrencies at all as there is no responsible entity backing them up and they can crash at any moment. So a "real" electronic rmb currency will be much safer. I'm happy to live in exciting times!
Bukele is changing the face of El Salvador in every positive way possible.....the US government is making it impossible for Bitcoin to succeed.... blocking it and had tried to bully him not to use it ....I mean can you imagine if it works?....do you know what that would mean to the US dollar?.....there is your answer
Caribbean people are lotal to china especially places like Jamaica trinidad and guyana because they also gave a sizable Chinese mix population and Chinese immigrants as well .take me am part chinese Jamaican and we love our china becauof iyt blood connection unlike chinese from taiwan and Hong Kong
China made everything and why don’t pay china directly using rmb to save cost instead of paying the exchange charge due to xchange rate and why to pay to the bank extra charge by using swift? As simple as that
What you say sound logical, but the reality is more complex. The banks are into the SWIFT and they are obligated/compelled to use an "internationally accepted" system. Banks also earn big bucks from these transactions.
This century is undoubtedly Chinese. Prior to the rise of China, the global leaders particularly the West could take their own sweet time charting the future course for their products and services. They could easily continue where they left off after returning from a siesta or vacation. It is no longer easy to remain the dominant power without going the extra mile. Now the Chinese is constantly in pursuit of ways to better the lives of many who have been deprived and disconnected from the system. The West is losing sleep and fast running out of steam for the global #1 in keeping up or lose their relevance.
As a man from Serbia I am happy about our government turning more and more towards China since I do see China as a future BUT I am afraid that China's "soft power" and lack of interest to militarily involve themselfs means that my country will be left alone agains powerful USA and NATO who undaoutably have interest that weaken Serbia with every year and every move leading to destabilization of Balkan reagion.
Very good point. China’s non interference of others’ internal affairs will have to be changed one day. Military alliance will also be needed. China is already being called lots of bad names including “being aggressive”. Imagine if they declare that Serbia is under Chinese nuclear protection. What will Russia think about it? What will the whole western world think about it? What does China gain from providing military/nuclear protection to Serbia which so far away? For North Korea, it makes more sense. It is more natural for Serbia to seek military protection from Russia since now Russia and China are actual allies but the name. But Serbia should consider what it can offer to Russia for return, you don’t think that they will protect you for free?
It was not US or the western countries' neglect of the under developed or developing countries. It is a deliberate policy to keep them under developed so that they can continue to exploit them, not unlike when they were colonisers.
What i really really like about digital payments is the amount is exactly the right amount down to the last 2 decimal point or rather cents. Take away a lot if misunderstandings between buyer and seller. I went to US the 1st time years ago and went to have some seafood. When come to payment, i then paid accordingly to the bill. But the waitress bark at me as why there is no “tip”? Do i not like her services etc. I then add extra $10 and her facial expressions is awful. I then mentioned how much should i add? She mentioned 10 % of the amount. This mean the tip should be $15. But this $15 is from my own pocket and i cannot claim from my corporate travelling expenses as i cam claim only the amount indicated on the receipt. This $15 after conversion to my country of origin is equal to my food for 1 week. This $15 to me is bribe for her service? With digital payment, no untraced payment or hidden cost. Everything is transparent and upfront. No tip or bribe or commission or incentives or motivation fee etc
Very interesting subject - almost for all of us, western countries included, it makes sense to use the digital r m b, given that the bulk of what we buy and use is produced in China. As the saying goes, the Chinese are the only one to “buy local” everywhere in the world they happen to find themselves. 🙂
This vlog is awesome as it used to be! cyrus n turrin is always the golden collab who offers great content mixing up tech, financial, economy n geopolitical things. Man, Keep it up!
Living here in the bahamas. Love the digital currency but from my experience is that many people are nervous about the u.s. we have to pay high prices for us imports and it's a burden. And u.s banks fail in our country because of the way they want to attract customers. Too many debt offering and people ain't feeling on taking debt
The USA has taken the Caribbean/Bahamas for granted. The Caribbean/Bahama is on the backyard of USA, under the U.S. hegemony. The US exploitation of the Caribbean/Bahamas for nearly 100 years has incubated anti-USA sentiment and cultivated socialist/communism. Cuba is the primary example.
Pride cometh before the fall. Most people in the United States, inclusive of government officials think they are too big to fail. That things will always be as they have been. This is always a fatal mistake for any nation or empire. Study ancient Rome.
If you wish to finance your development, improve your physical infrastructure today, you have to deal with a source willing to finance the risk....these days China has provided the best options, the Western sources are all about dictating control and foreign policy restrictive practices not free market operation.
Kind of amazing looking at the Caribbean and African nations. China is there helping build their economies and we are out trying to destroy their governments. Anyone want to think how this is going to end?
Excellent video based on facts and reality. I hope Richard can provide some insights as why America is late in the digital currency game. I suspect there are lot of hidden force not wanting it to pahhen.
the chinese influence did not happen overnight. When i visited cuba in 2010. I was greeted at the airport by a luxurious chinese tour bus. if i did not see the label, i would have thought was made in germany. when i arrived at the hotel, i found little things everywhere with made in china stamps on them. I was shocked, and impressed, at the same time.
The United States has obligated its military to protect most of the world military costing us hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We’ve wasted trillions of dollars on this fruitless endeavor.
Richard Turrin has researched this subject in great depth and scope. Things he talked about are what reality is today and the depth of his research is simply amazing. I am reading his book now "Cashless". Thanks for bringing him on again Cyrus.

You are a rapidly shrinking proportion of citizens of the world who haven’t yet got tired of hearing that broken record. The Dems and the Republicans have been taking turns in Washington being “voted in/out” to empty out middle America.

@@jiaxunchat I doubt anything will come out of China's digital Yuan. China doesn't have the rule of law. In order to be a reserve currency you need to have a legal system that the world can trust. You see people need to know that their money is safe and that contracts will be honored. Another big thing is China is constantly manipulating the value of it's currency up and down to maximize economic growth. That's good for GDP but not for a potential reserve currency.

@@siddharthkalantri5076 I have read about it. The Chinese charge a four percent interest rate, which is more than the IMF but is on parity for most commercial loans. With regards to the port in Sri Lanka, they now own 70 percent of the port after the government of Sri Lanka defaulted. Compare that to the IMF which demands that countries privatize their water supplies, sell off national assets and deregulate markets to the benefit of the USA. So far, the Chinese own a Sri Lankan port. Unlike the USA they haven't deposed the country's leadership, rigged elections or invaded. The Chinese are probably going to take that port and use it to print money. Altruism is not their goal. that said, what the IMF does, and what the West has traditionally done in these places is much, much worse.

if you take a look at China's neighbouring countries and compare their economic development to those of the Caribbean countries, which are the neighbouring countries of the US, you may realize that China is making its neighbours richer and richer while the US doesn't really care about Central America countries.

As long as one master is not replaced by another master; then that’s a healthy partnership.
China should help other countries expedite their own digital currencies so that any country can trade with any country without being at the mercy of a financial hegemon. This will increase trust in the Chinese digital RMB and also promote trade and stability between individual nations. The last thing we want is for countries to escape a financial hegemon only to fall into the arms of another.
Countries should also not presume that just because the current superpower abuses it's power, that an upcoming superpower will somehow also do the same as it's predecessor. It's just projection of the current superpower's crimes onto another that isn't even in power yet.
@@Shenzhou. I'm sure China has no intention of doing so, at least not the current leadership. But things can and will change over generations. That's why relationships have to be built upon exchange and reciprocity as much as possible, and not charity or goodwill. If all levers are held by one party (as what we're seeing with the US), it would inevitably lead to disgruntlement, maybe not in the short term, but definitely in the long term. Things will be more stable when all parties have something to lose in a relationship. From the perspective of China, it would also keep them on their toes in maintaining cordial relationships. Otherwise, they would succumb to complacency as have happened many times to great powers in the past. I think the current leadership have done commendably in this aspect so far and I hope they keep this up and resist the urge to over leverage on their influence.
That pretty much requires ground up education and at least a generation of understanding and implementation. And that's assuming the US isn't creating subterfuge to install puppet dictators to rip out the wires like they've been ripping out banking regulations set up by the FDR administration.
China cannot put pressure on countries or force them to choose. These countries have to decide themselves and there are still a lot trust to be build and it take time.
Yeah eventually, maybe US can help create a digital currencies for all other countries.

The West is talking up the threat of China, especially in Asia specifically Hong Kong (which is within China) and Taiwan (which is part of China as per the One China policy) and the rest. However, national defence budgets say otherwise. The last conflict in Asia was in 1979 (China/Vietnam border war), since then Asia never been so safe and prosperous. With the implementation of RCEP as at the 1st Jan 22 that prosperity is set to increase astronomically for those 15 countries involved, ASEAN, South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. This view is also supported by the low defence budgets of countries within the region. Taiwan’s budget is at its lowest point, Japan is at 2%, hardly states under siege from China? So, wherever China goes, prosperity follows.
China is a straight up a police state, and a global bully constantly threatening war to other countries. The last thing Caribbean/jamacians would like to hear is... "I'm from the Chinese government and I'm here to help."
I get it... America does close to the exact same soft power bulls*it. that's why I'm worried.
I don't think china is out to kill but
Please don't go thinking that china is righteous or anything.
Also tell your agent not to invade Taiwan... that's not very cool.
And that war between China and Vietnam was started by Vietnam. Did you know that the Vietnam vs USA war, that lots of chinese soldiers went to help Vietnam? Meaning China helped Vietnam to win the war against the US. Why, because if the US has taken Vietnam, then the biggest thread will be directly south to China. Then those idiots in Vietnam turns around and attacks China. I thought history tells us that that war was done very quick. China destroyed Vietnam and didn't take over it country, which US would have done. China was only defending own borders and not attacking anyone. I can tell you this, China will not invade Taiwan. Those are brothers from the same mother. China wait paciently for Taiwan to want to return and join China again.
Caribbean countries have had enough of US untrustiness. Singapore has always been working closely with China and there is no issues, no fuss.

Unlike the Chinese, we lease property to build military bases in many countries that we give aid to to help protect those countries from other foreign aggressors. China comes into poor countries and builds shipping ports and airports with low interest loans promising jobs and economic advancement. When these projects go belly-up, which they almost always do, China comes in and makes a deal with that country... China will forgive the loan under one condition, they get all properties and the improvements to those properties as Chinese territory. There is only one reason China does this... future world-wide dominance. Communist China wants to rule the world. It is 'passive aggression' personified.
Not many people in Singapore, including kids, are unbanked. Still, CBDC will be useful in ForEx cost reduction for any country, as the current conversion between two non-USD currencies still goes through USD as the middleman currency, and banks make money twice in every transaction.

Wonderful talk! Somehow made me think about the history of Chinese civil war, in which the CPC defeated US backed KMT in 1949. KMT basically controlled almost all the big cities, which had most wealth. The strategy of CPC was called "Countryside surrounding the cities" or 农村包围城市。 Most Chinese people lived in the country side then. They were poor and undereducated, but they were not stupid. They chose the party who treated them better. Make a lot of sense, right?
Agreed. During the Chinese Civil War, the Nationalist KMT had massive wealth (they taxed peasants heavily) they had superior weapons and superior numbers over the communists. Yet despite all these advantages, the KMT still lost the mainland to a bunch of dirt-poor, ill-equipped, starving communist peasants and had to flee to Taiwan. If anything, this demonstrates KMT's gross incompetence in their right to rule the mainland, while cementing the communist's right to rule China.
@@Shenzhou. A superior army losing to a bunch of dirt-poor ill-equipped peasants. Now where have we heard that story before?
@@harryviking6347 yes they do.
@@harryviking6347 If the Nationalist KMT were the supposed "chosen ones" then why'd the _Republic of China_ 🇹🇼 (1912-1949) lose the mainland to the _People's Republic of China_ 🇨🇳 and had to flee to Taiwan? Back then, the KMT had everything. Money, wealth, superior weapons, U.S funding, and superior numbers over the dirt-poor, ill-equipped, outnumbered starving communists. Several times during the Chinese Civil War, the communists were on the *brink of total annihilation,* by the KMT and it was through the sheer communist will to survive and Mao's strategy like the _Long March_ that enabled the communists to survive from the brink.
After the end of the Long March, communist numbers plummeted from *69,000* (October 1934) to *7,000* (October 1935) while the KMT army remained strong at over 300,000 personnel. Yet you really think the communists did not treat people good?

1) Existing banks in the Caribbean are a predatory oligarchy.
2) Financial services and not just core banking are what's needed
Expecting a very hard retaliation from those banker oligarch to stop digital yuan to break into their market at every cost
any banks 🏦 are oligarchy, try world bank and imf then u know. It is exactly like “iron bank” in game of thrones
China wants to build a military base in Caribbean area Jamaica or Cuba just like USSR did in,Cuba
Thank you for another great video. Anything and everything to better people's lives and nothing for those who exploit the lives and toil of the innocent.
Three cheers 👍👍👍to Richard Turrin for his intensive and extensive unbiased digital knowledge on China - good that he is so willing and openly share his knowledge with the global citizens.
I would have liked to hear about the U.S. weaponizing the dollar with regard to trade with many small nations, and maybe the reasons many small nations would want an alternative currency to protect themselves from the U.S. dollar hegemony.
*Despite the economic crisis,this is a Still a good time to invest in stock and Crypto***
The rich spend less and invest more,Investing in these economic crisis will be one of the best thing to do
You're right I think stock and Crypto are the best to invest right now☺️As stock's are good but crypto is better
Yeah My first investment with EXPERT ANN HAMILTON earned me profits of $25,620
and ever since then she has been delivering
The importance of a professional mentorship of an expert should be the first step in trading
I have never seen in the whole world, there is a journalist in india who is so obsessed with one country, and always talks about it and slanders it every day. this is not a journalist but nothing more than a hater!
I think that is Palka of WION.
Western countries slow in accepting new technology. Asia is faster in accepting new text.. It is the guy.
West invents all the new tech and china steals it
Brilliant stuff, Cyrus & Rich. Saving money in the short term is short sighted by the US arrogance of domination. It nice to see a competitor which will be a game changer. Remember we are globalised with no boundaries but the US will have boundaries as being very outdated until they changed and realised that the US is not the only inhabitants in the world.
Thank you so much for bringing this conversation with Richard Turrin. I watched the first one but unfortunately I didn't follow up then. Right now I have bought Richard's book.
I am worried about Bukele in El Salvador having introduced bitcoin as legal currency. I understand that it was a bold move that makes life easier for thousands of migrants who send modest remittances back home and are heavily exploited by the likes of Western Union who charge high fees, but I don't trust cryptocurrencies at all as there is no responsible entity backing them up and they can crash at any moment. So a "real" electronic rmb currency will be much safer. I'm happy to live in exciting times!
Bukele is changing the face of El Salvador in every positive way possible.....the US government is making it impossible for Bitcoin to succeed.... blocking it and had tried to bully him not to use it ....I mean can you imagine if it works?....do you know what that would mean to the US dollar?.....there is your answer
A very thought provocative video. Refreshing and certainly something that can materialize in the near future.
Caribbean people are lotal to china especially places like Jamaica trinidad and guyana because they also gave a sizable Chinese mix population and Chinese immigrants as well .take me am part chinese Jamaican and we love our china becauof iyt blood connection unlike chinese from taiwan and Hong Kong
I heard Naomi Campbell is a mixed Hakka 🔥
bow down to Xitler Caribbean
China made everything and why don’t pay china directly using rmb to save cost instead of paying the exchange charge due to xchange rate and why to pay to the bank extra charge by using swift? As simple as that
What you say sound logical, but the reality is more complex. The banks are into the SWIFT and they are obligated/compelled to use an "internationally accepted" system. Banks also earn big bucks from these transactions.
Africa will follow suit...
This century is undoubtedly Chinese. Prior to the rise of China, the global leaders particularly the West could take their own sweet time charting the future course for their products and services. They could easily continue where they left off after returning from a siesta or vacation. It is no longer easy to remain the dominant power without going the extra mile.
Now the Chinese is constantly in pursuit of ways to better the lives of many who have been deprived and disconnected from the system. The West is losing sleep and fast running out of steam for the global #1 in keeping up or lose their relevance.
china has PCI lower than Mexico
6:58 ... because there is no OIL in the caribbean...
Guyana, Venezuela, Trinidad
Excellent topic and talk.
As a man from Serbia I am happy about our government turning more and more towards China since I do see China as a future BUT I am afraid that China's "soft power" and lack of interest to militarily involve themselfs means that my country will be left alone agains powerful USA and NATO who undaoutably have interest that weaken Serbia with every year and every move leading to destabilization of Balkan reagion.
Maybe Serbia should stop associating with NATO and join the SCO and the CSTO as a full member, not just observer
如果你们真的是我们的朋友，我们不会放弃你们的，因为从2020开始，中国就开始不一样了，因为我们拥有了这个世界上最强大的武器，如果说这个世界上有人不怕美国，那就只有我们中国
Very good point. China’s non interference of others’ internal affairs will have to be changed one day. Military alliance will also be needed. China is already being called lots of bad names including “being aggressive”. Imagine if they declare that Serbia is under Chinese nuclear protection. What will Russia think about it? What will the whole western world think about it? What does China gain from providing military/nuclear protection to Serbia which so far away? For North Korea, it makes more sense. It is more natural for Serbia to seek military protection from Russia since now Russia and China are actual allies but the name. But Serbia should consider what it can offer to Russia for return, you don’t think that they will protect you for free?
Very insightful of economic development in the developing countries which USA neglected as a superpower
It was not US or the western countries' neglect of the under developed or developing countries. It is a deliberate policy to keep them under developed so that they can continue to exploit them, not unlike when they were colonisers.
Really nice to hear the news from you because it is balanced news. Thank you from Korea 🇰🇷
Educational, informative, articulate, great 👍 work
What i really really like about digital payments is the amount is exactly the right amount down to the last 2 decimal point or rather cents. Take away a lot if misunderstandings between buyer and seller. I went to US the 1st time years ago and went to have some seafood. When come to payment, i then paid accordingly to the bill. But the waitress bark at me as why there is no “tip”? Do i not like her services etc. I then add extra $10 and her facial expressions is awful. I then mentioned how much should i add? She mentioned 10 % of the amount. This mean the tip should be $15. But this $15 is from my own pocket and i cannot claim from my corporate travelling expenses as i cam claim only the amount indicated on the receipt. This $15 after conversion to my country of origin is equal to my food for 1 week. This $15 to me is bribe for her service? With digital payment, no untraced payment or hidden cost. Everything is transparent and upfront. No tip or bribe or commission or incentives or motivation fee etc
Richard Turrin is a great analyst and critical thinker. His opinions are unbiased and reflect the reality.
Caribbean now needs freedom....Now its time to invade caribbean....😄
Very interesting subject - almost for all of us, western countries included, it makes sense to use the digital r m b, given that the bulk of what we buy and use is produced in China. As the saying goes, the Chinese are the only one to “buy local” everywhere in the world they happen to find themselves. 🙂
The question is do we another centralized currency? Certainly not. Please don’t promote China digital currency.
This vlog is awesome as it used to be!
cyrus n turrin is always the golden collab who offers great content mixing up tech, financial, economy n geopolitical things.
Man, Keep it up!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed
Living here in the bahamas. Love the digital currency but from my experience is that many people are nervous about the u.s. we have to pay high prices for us imports and it's a burden.
And u.s banks fail in our country because of the way they want to attract customers. Too many debt offering and people ain't feeling on taking debt
The USA has taken the Caribbean/Bahamas for granted. The Caribbean/Bahama is on the backyard of USA, under the U.S. hegemony. The US exploitation of the Caribbean/Bahamas for nearly 100 years has incubated anti-USA sentiment and cultivated socialist/communism. Cuba is the primary example.
Cuba is the only Black nation with the courage to stand tall against the Monster that is America, but now that monster has a flesh wound.
China help a lot and send a lot good but no mess up & kill.
Pride cometh before the fall. Most people in the United States, inclusive of government officials think they are too big to fail. That things will always be as they have been. This is always a fatal mistake for any nation or empire. Study ancient Rome.
True info & educational
we in the Caribbean are seeing results from working with China . you can actually see the progress.
china go home
CBDC will set a financial revolution, I hope !
the Caribbean countries choosing China over US is a very good thing !!!
If you wish to finance your development, improve your physical infrastructure today, you have to deal with a source willing to finance the risk....these days China has provided the best options, the Western sources are all about dictating control and foreign policy restrictive practices not free market operation.
Very lively n very interesting, both of you. Keep it up.
Kind of amazing looking at the Caribbean and African nations. China is there helping build their economies and we are out trying to destroy their governments. Anyone want to think how this is going to end?
Excellent video based on facts and reality. I hope Richard can provide some insights as why America is late in the digital currency game. I suspect there are lot of hidden force not wanting it to pahhen.
Very informative on China Digital R & B. Thank you!
Thank you Cyrus for the quality content. Looking forward to buying the book.
Thanks for the support Benny! You can purchase the book on Amazon, link in description, definitely recommend it! Richard did an amazing job writing it
Acceptance of new technology is what will make new countries to improve the
flood Caribbean with china junk LOL Caribbean needs panda dolls
Thank you! That was very informative!
the chinese influence did not happen overnight.
When i visited cuba in 2010. I was greeted at the airport by a luxurious chinese tour bus. if i did not see the label, i would have thought was made in germany. when i arrived at the hotel, i found little things everywhere with made in china stamps on them. I was shocked, and impressed, at the same time.
Good point...I visited Cuba in 2012 and had a very good visit as well
The United States has obligated its military to protect most of the world military costing us hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We’ve wasted trillions of dollars on this fruitless endeavor.
Richard Turrin has researched this subject in great depth and scope. Things he talked about are what reality is today and the depth of his research is simply amazing. I am reading his book now "Cashless". Thanks for bringing him on again Cyrus.
